Directions:
Combine water and sugar in heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil until all the sugar is dissolved; two to three minutes.
Add cranberries, orange juice, and orange rind.
Remove mixture from heat and cool slightly.
Add mixture to food processor and pulse a few times – just enough to break some of the berries open.
Cool completely.
Pour into a glass or plastic container and seal tightly. Store in a cool, dark place for 3 weeks.
After three weeks, pour mixture through a fine sieve to strain. You may want to also strain a couple more times through cheese-cloth, depending on how much pulp you like in your liqueur.
Save the berries for another use (Frozen ice cubes? Dancing in my cocktail? Ice cream sundae? Jello shots? No, not really. . . maybe?)
Pour strained liqueur into glass bottles with an airtight seal.
